Summary

Use when choosing among Nature, Nature Methods, or Nature Biotechnology, or when preparing a Nature Portfolio life-science manuscript for venue fit, article-type framing, and policy-aware pre-submission checks.

1	# Nature Portfolio Playbook
2
3	## Overview
4
5	Use this skill when the venue decision itself is still live, or when a manuscript already targets `Nature`, `Nature Methods`, or `Nature Biotechnology` and needs venue-specific framing before a heavy revision pass.
6
7	This skill is about fit and policy. It does not replace `scientific-writing`, `manuscript-optimizer`, or `submission-audit`.
8
9	## When To Use
10
11	Use this skill when:
12	- the user asks whether a story fits `Nature`, `Nature Methods`, or `Nature Biotechnology`
13	- the paper has a `Nature`-style tone but the actual venue is undecided
14	- the contribution could be framed as an `Article`, `Resource`, `Analysis`, or short-format methods report
15	- a manuscript is close to submission and needs a Nature Portfolio-specific preflight
16
17	Do not use this skill when:
18	- the task is generic sentence-level editing
19	- the venue is a conference or a non-Nature journal
20	- the manuscript structure itself is still unstable and needs `manuscript-optimizer` first
21
22	## Venue Routing
23
24	### Flagship `Nature`
25
26	Default to `Nature` only when the paper makes a broad conceptual advance that matters outside the immediate specialty and can be explained to non-specialists without heavy field-specific scaffolding.
27
28	Use these framing defaults:
29	- prioritize broad readership over specialist density
30	- keep title and abstract low-jargon
31	- preserve the non-specialist-friendly summary paragraph expectation
32	- if fit is uncertain, explicitly test whether the broad-readership case is real before optimizing prose too far
33
34	### `Nature Methods`
35
36	Prefer `Nature Methods` when the central contribution is a method, assay, platform, computational approach, or resource whose main claim is enabling power.
37
38	Before calling a story `Nature Methods`-fit, check that the manuscript can support all of these:
39	- a clear technical advance over available approaches
40	- validation and benchmarking against credible baselines or alternatives
41	- enough detail or protocol access for reproducibility
42	- demonstrated general utility, not just one narrow showcase
43	- a compelling biological or biomedical application that shows why the method matters
44
45	### `Nature Biotechnology`
46
47	Prefer `Nature Biotechnology` when the paper's value is not just technical novelty but biotechnology significance: enabling capability, translational relevance, engineering depth, platform utility, or community-scale resource value.
48
49	Before calling a story `Nature Biotechnology`-fit, check that the manuscript can make legible:
50	- why the advance matters for biotechnology or medicine, not just for one specialist benchmark
51	- why the story is substantial enough for a full article rather than a narrower methods report
52	- whether the paper is truly an `Article` or would be better framed as a `Resource`
53
54	## Article-Type Check
55
56	Do this early. Do not treat article type as formatting cleanup.
57
58	- `Article`: full research story with multiple linked claims and a substantial evidence chain
59	- `Resource`: community-useful dataset, platform, atlas, database, or screening asset whose lasting value is broad reuse
60	- `Analysis`: integrative or comparative analytical study when the core contribution is the analytical insight rather than a new experimental method
61	- short-format method/report categories: use only when the story is tighter, more self-contained, and the journal explicitly supports that format
62
63	If the manuscript keeps oscillating between `method paper` and `resource paper`, resolve that before rewriting the abstract or Results.
64
65	## Nature Portfolio Preflight
66
67	Run this before calling a draft submission-ready:
68
69	1. Reporting standards
70	- confirm whether a reporting summary will be required
71	- make sure the manuscript and supplement already contain the information that summary will demand
72	2. Data and code availability
73	- check that repository names, accession IDs, download links, and access restrictions are ready to disclose
74	- do not wait until after acceptance to figure out the data/code statement
75	3. Protocol and reproducibility readiness
76	- for methods papers, ensure the usable protocol path is clear: supplement, protocol repository, or public method record
77	4. Image integrity and raw data
78	- ensure unprocessed source images and raw blot/gel material can be produced if requested
79	- remove any figure-preparation habit that could look like selective enhancement
80	5. AI and attribution
81	- disclose qualifying use of generative AI tools where the journal requires it
82	- do not treat AI-made images or undisclosed AI-written content as safe by default
83	6. Related-manuscript and preprint disclosures
84	- disclose preprints, overlapping submissions, related manuscripts, and conference-proceedings history when relevant
